Tennis is not an award ceremony for people you find "nice". It just gives trophies to the people who play the best tennis. Not that Aza would be the best in absolute terms but this tournament, she played better than all her opponents. Consequently she deserved the trophy. Simple.

Exactly. Some are confusing their personal hangups with the job of a tennis player; they seek the country club world which made the public once see/disrespect tennis as a "soft" sport for the spoiled, rich set--something other than a real sport.
